Quote:I'm trying to remember any time Ra suggested that. Can you provide a quote?I was responding to a question posed by Adonai one, he said that's what Ra implicitly stated so I addressed in that form, I was going to ask for a reference in the material but like I said earlier, I've been hungover all day.
Quote:What do you think all those UFOs are then?All of those factual reports and solid evidence? I approach it with honesty, interest and skepticism.
Here's the basic gist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosocial_hypothesis
Quote:It doesn't matter. What matters is whether the information has the ring of truth and can withstand scrutiny.Is the complete lack of empirical justification withstanding scrutiny? I don't mean feeling sensations and going "oh man chakras are real"
Quote: As others have mentioned I've found the archetypal mind stuff from book IV to be useful as a tool for self-study, but I've always been interested in the idea of the archetypes having grown up with a keen interest in mythology and have enjoyed the works of people like Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, so once again it's nothing new just a rearrangement of old ideas.
If you're interested in Jung check out the essay "Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies" you may find it relevant and of interest. As I stated before (but I understand you haven't read the whole thread, fair enough) is that there are clear indications of modern manifestation of archetypal thought in this book but assuming those representations to be portraying real events and phenomena is too much for me personally.
